Hoddle : '' I recommended Wenger to Arsenal ! ''

[Spurs_Q8]

www.sport.co.uk

It was enthralling playing for him, I enjoyed every single second. He wanted me to play just behind the striker, which was Mark Hateley. I always felt that was my best position, but I never really played there for England or even during my hey-day at Spurs when I played the right side of a diamond with Ricky Villa behind me." He continued.

"We played as a replica of Arsene’s first Arsenal side; there were two holding midfielders like Petit and Vieira, a flying winger like Overmars and I played in the ‘Bergkamp role’ behind the striker.

“He introduced so many new things to me, his training methods, the warm ups and the warm downs. In all my years at Tottenham, we had never done a warm down! We had vitamin injections; all legal of course, all the thinking was way ahead.

"The physio, Michel Franco, opened my eyes to so many things; he really was a miracle worker. Years later, I know Spurs fans don’t like it, but when I was England manager, [Arsenal vice-chairman] David Dein asked me about Arsene, and I just said, “Go and get him. He will be successful

yes, i know he might put 'human' friendship rather than a love for a team, but don't know how he did this and how he allowed himself to recommend something good for Arsenal ... oh well .. after years from love .. i find this one !

Not in Kuwait......until now

what's the relation between my country & this thread ? If you think i right rubbish, but i not rubbish than what Hoddle did/said in this story, even thought Glenn was my favourite Spurs man and this is my first criticism for him in my all life !

anyway, not the first time people here have a go about my country, for sure we aren't well advanced country - specially at Football, but there are a lot of people who loves football and i don't think it's write rule once you judge people thoughts based on their nationality, it's never come 100% true, and if you think all of Kuwaiti people are stupid, I'm sure obscure coach would do better than Hodoson with Liverpool and Domenech with France.

my only point, if i'm struggling to make my views understandable or i didn't understand something or even if I'm wrighting something sensible but you don't agree, doesn't mean all people in my country are stupid or i'm stupid or you are genius etc... PLEASE come back and respone in footballing issues.

hope moderators wouldn't be serious with anything wrote in this thread, I would welcome any response after this since i said what i should say it for ages LOL.

Can you explain to me where I said you or your people are stupid? or I judge your country in anyway?

I simply said in refernce to a very old story that you were presenting as new data that the story had not been heard yet in your country (seeing as you seem to have just come across it)

I would/could have said it had you been from ireland, France or somewhere else in UK it was just a joke because the story was very much thought to be common knowledge

I don't see how or why you have taken offence to my remark or believe it to suggest I was calling you or your countries people stupid or that you lack knowledge of football Eek

Relax, you don't need to be so defencive

Hoddle actually recommended Venger - the malevolent demon that causes chaos and general disruption (a bit like the tube workers) in the realm of dungeons & dragons.

He was fully prepared to take up the position..believing that running a nomadic group of footballers might help him in his quest to obtain some magical weapons belonging to a bunch of school truants.

Sadly there was a communication breakdown and the job was instead given to a sinister librarian with selective eyesight.

[archiewasking]

tbh, it may be common and old knowledge, but I'd never seen this before either. And I've lived in London or East Anglia all my life.

 

[guate]

I've never seen this mentioned before either and I scour the internet looking for all things Spurs.
